Rewind to collaging out May’s full moon in Sagittarius 🌕♐️

Getting this screenshot (swipe to see) in ThePulpGirls’ reel was exactly what I needed. After writing down what needed releasing and affirming that notion, I truly felt more centered and empowered.

Have you taken the time to write yourself a letter recently? It can be the best way to remind yourself of who you truly are, your inner strength, and to give yourself motivation to get through whatever you’re going through at a given time. Looking forward to opening this one day. 💌

Affirmation thanks to ThePulpGirls screenshot affirmation reel for May’s new moon in Taurus ♉️

If I feel like collaging to get my emotions and feelings out but I also want a little direction, a lot of times I’ll haunt ThePulpGirls zodiac-specific posts and that will become the base I work with. I read my affirmations and let them sit with me. I go through all of my stickers and ephemera and think about how I feel right now: not just emotions but where I’m at in life and where I’m headed. What’s my vibe rn? What message(s) keeps popping up for me? What do I wish for myself short-term or long-term? Sometimes the pages reflect that I’m hunkering down and in a recharge phase. Other times they’re inspirational, and sometimes it just reflects the essence of “Lindsay.” These pages are all about where I was that specific week in my life. Just getting out my feelings and sorting out how I felt my vibe was at the time. There’s a little bit of the core of “me,” with images of my present, and of looking toward my future peppering in ThePulpGirls May affirmations for Aquarius. 🌸

Taking it back to the beginning of the year with a collage I made on New Year’s Day encompassing my intentions for the year 🪩💕🎀

Did you do a mid year review? Or, did you look back at everything you’ve created in your journal this year so far? I flipped through mine and it was really interesting for me to look back at the collages I’d created, the pages I’d written out, what I’d gone through, and the different goals I’d made. This year I wrote out a list of “24 things to do in 2024” and I’m happy to report I’ve accomplished 8.5/24 and I feel like that is more than I thought I would check off by July. 😅

It was really good to look back and reignite my ideas for what I wanted for myself and what I wanted to happen during 2024. I feel ready to go forward and fully embrace Lindsay of 2024.

Are you living as fully as you intended to this year? Are you the version of you that you envisioned being at the beginning of 2024?

Let’s take time for ourselves this week and journal or collage to get back in touch with the intentions we had for 2024.

🪩💖🎠 Every night's another reason why I left it all 🌃✨🎶

February’s Lindsay’s Favorite Things theme is… Sanrio! 🎀

I have so many great memories surrounded by Hello Kitty and the wide world of Sanrio, and yet top of my list is always remembering the times I’ve visited the Sanrio store on 42nd Street in NYC. (Sadly, it is now closed.) First of all, it had a security guard. (That may have both made me nervous AND thrilled me.) I remember stopping in between the years 2000-2007 and the rush of immediately spotting the big selection of little stickers sheets and pens, pencils, and stationery sets. Then when cell phones and cell phone accessories became more popular, seeing the more pricey Hello Kitty-adorned phone cases and charms behind the check out counter, dreaming of being able to afford that souvenir. Visiting in my late teens in 2008, the store redone in a more sleek design - the “Sanrio Luxe” concept — offering mostly expensive items for sale. One year I saved my Christmas and birthday money and went in with the intention of buying one pricey item: one of the giant stuffed animals, or a purse. I came out with a giant Charmmy Kitty plush that lived some epic times in my life, and that I still have today.

During formative years of my life a visit to NYC was never complete without a stop in at the Sanrio store. To me, Sanrio is the epitome of girlhood. 💖 Hello, February!

There are so many spreads and collages I didn’t get to post while I was drowning in coursework. One was this autumn collage. I love using The Pulp Girls zodiac-sign-specific posts as inspiration. This time I took a few affirmations and sprinkled them around pages that reflect my autumn/how I was feeling about autumn.

Need some affirmation inspiration? These are great to add into your practice at any time of the year:

🌻 my energy has a healing, soothing effect

🌻 I am wrapped in love and tenderness

🌻 I have a radiant aura and loving soul

Hello, November! 🍂

Lindsay’s Favorite Things theme for November is… Sylvanian Families/Calico Critters!

Hello October!

September’s Lindsay’s Favorite Things theme is: Back To The Future!

It seems as though this year I’m finally tackling my Favorite Things that always made me nervous to actually do — because they mean so much to me. The BTTF movies are comfort movies to me. I can recite lines along with the movies. I love the costuming, the joking lines, the plot twists.

I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pages for this month!

What year would you use a Time Machine to go back to, and why?

Hello, September!

September’s Lindsay’s Favorite Things theme is: The Sopranos 🇮🇹🍝 (Where’s the gabagool emoji?!)

This is one of those themes I really wanted to do justice, and with that sentiment in mind it’s taken me a long time to actually do. I’m really happy with how this cover page came out. Shout out to IG plansthatblossom for sharing her gorgeous pattern work pages. It inspired me to make the faux-washi that’s supposed to be a take on those Italian restaurant table cloths.

Let’s get down to brass tacks, though: pulp, no pulp or some pulp in OJ? 😉
